If one applies t1lint to the type 1 musixtex fonts, many error messages are generated. For example,
musix11.pfb: warning: some BlueValues entries are not integers musix11.pfb: BlueValues zone 0 too large in relation to BlueScale (size 13.666, max 2.76692 [0.361412]) musix11.pfb: BlueValues zone 1 too large in relation to BlueScale (size 3, max 2.76692 [0.361412]) musix11.pfb: BlueValues zone 2 too large in relation to BlueScale (size 22.135, max 2.76692 [0.361412]) musix11.pfb: warning: some OtherBlues entries are not integers musix11.pfb: OtherBlues zone 0 too large in relation to BlueScale (size 13.637, max 2.76692 [0.361412]) According to Eddie Kohler, the author of t1lint, they indicate there are bugs in the hinting information. >|I would imagine many Type 1 processors (printers, PDF >|displayers, etc.) would accept these problematic fonts >|without complaint, but perhaps they will ignore the hints >|(leading to substandard rendering quality). It is certainly noticeable that the type 1 musixtex fonts don't display well on the screen. According to the README for the musixtex-fonts package, the hinting was done using Fontographer, a commercial program. Does anyone on this list have the expertise to address this issue?
